high striped socks+cut offs

aka the tyler

[close]

I've been rocking both old striped tube socks and cut offs for longer than tyler the creator has been prevalent. To call (and mock) this style as "the tyler" just makes you sound even more like the herb you are. For one, I'm not a fan of his music, and second, aren't you the one posting your overpriced supreme hats on this forum? As sweatercuff previously posted, you truly live up to your name. You are indeed a planking goon.

[VictoriousOG]

Looks like someones offended. If you read through the thread I clearly explain that Tyler made it a fad. Of course that shits old, but Tyler is the reason kids are following it. Not 20+ year old dudes at the park or Andrew Allen. Call me a "herb", "kook", "trendy bastard" all you want. I'm still doing my damn thing and loving it.

Definately not a local thing, It's on the East Coast too, but I've only ever seen people do it with Dunks.

[close]

dunks are the most common, however i see a crazy ammount of people doing it with vans eras, which looks even worse because the laces are quite long anyway and theyre only about 4 lace holes so the "quadruple bow" part is dragging on the ground

Ive seen people do it with cons.

I dig the whole skating alone thing, mainly because I have zero choice being that I am both 31 and live in a rural as fuck area, but I also like it because if I want to try and learn a trick and spend 45 minutes doing the same thing over and over on the same ledge there is no one there to bitch.  As for clothing- it's whatever.  To me wearing Dickies isn't a trend, wearing them like you're prepping for a flood is, but so the fuck what if some little dude copies Rieder at the park, what's most important is that the little dude is out there skateboarding.  Does that shit really effect you?  That's like people bitching about the little kid covered head to toe in pads struggling his little ass up the pyramid.  Just be psyched the dude is out there, give him a high five, make his fucking day.  The amount of fucking hometown hero assholes at parks is way to prevalent.  You're nowhere near as fucking cool as you think you are, you're more kooked up than the little guy with way to big helmet getting in everyone's way.  At least he's having fun.

For serious, fuck those guys.

it's always dudes who aren't that good at skateboarding, too. they'll have their handfull of tricks they have on lock, and do them over and over and over, and then get pissed when some kid who's actually trying gets in the way of their 1,365,867th shitty back smith.

[immagetchuwet]

chaz ortiz. nuff said

[TheDonutFather]

Well, let's see.

I wear button ups. Usually with a bowtie or a regular tie sometimes, if not all the time.

I think shake junt is ill as shit.

I skate by myself. None of my friends do it but it's fun so fuck it.

I think hip hop and skating are perfect for each other. I just watched Brain Wash  and I couldn't stand most of soundtrack. I was going nuts when I saw Beasley's NATWV part though.

Aaaaaand I skate in vulcanized Nike sb blazers. So hey. Neg Rep me.

my favorite is the kids who are too cool to talk and try to look like they skate fast but only do powerslides and an ocassional boardslide or fifty

[foureyedjim]

Only two very general things:

1) Blatant imitating

2) trying to hard (trying too hard to make your style look good / trying too hard to dress as nice as possible when you're just going to get sweaty anyways).

we are to cool, maybe if you looked were you were going we wouldn't have to slow down to avoid you and your filmer. Your post has inspired my next session to be entirely powerslides. oh you said kids. too late, powerslidesssss.

throw in some flyouts

[HoudiniXLogic]

Dont know if this is a trend or not but I cant fucking show up to a park in a Morbid Angel shirt and baggy pants without every fucking emo kid there wanting to talk to me about their fucking shitty music.

And over here (Thailand), the absolute worst fucking trend is traveling an hour or so to a little park across town when you have pretty much the same set up 10 minutes from home.

[voltronarm]

too much slow-mo in the videos.

This whole "Brixton, I work in my garage on my Schaaf style motorcycle when I'm not skating while wearing weird Brixton hats and rockin' a killer mustache and witty tattoos look." 

This shit has to stop.  I got an Active Catalog in the mail today (I'm 24 and still get 12-year-old mail) and I was checkin' it out while I was on the shitter.  They are trying so hard to accomplish this blue color working man Brixton look.  Since when was it cool to wear boots, black framed glasses, a flannel, some dumb slick back hair and a dumb fuckin' mustache!? 

Fuck I hate everything!

you would hate my neighborhood

i myself am a a recovering perpitrator of this bullshit. i just get pissed sometimes when i spend a majority of my time dodging kids, so is not to kill them. rather than skating. but hey, i was in their shoes at one time. live and let live.

And me.  I work on motorcycles and have tattoos.  I didn't know that many people did it aside from Schaaf though.

i think it's more of the v-neck, faux-cal greaser look that he's talking about. and they've moved on from flannels to dull blue/gray button ups and hitler youth hair stylings.
